I'll take 13.  Oh and ET is overrated.

I saw a sneak preview of it when I was 17, with my girlfriend, and I cried like a baby. It was like a perfect movie. At least before they replaced the shotguns; as a kid they really affected me that these people were willing to shoot Elliott, and it made the bike flying over them way better. CE3K was a good movie of an interesting subject handled well, ET was a modern classic. Great cast, great story, interesting for kids and adults - not the greatest movie by the standards needed for such a thing if it exists, but definitely not overrated.

BTW Schindlers List was the best movie ever made, and I've only seen it once because I could not stand to see it again.

Steven Spielberg managed to straddle the line between anti studio Lucas desire to give more control to directors, and the studios that made him rich and famous. He is a directing genius and a management guru and he will be known as the greatest popular film director of all time. Yeah hes popular but its because he's good! Go look for Empire of the Sun as he figures out how to make grown up movies with a young kid actor named Christian Bale.

YOu know as I was writing that stuff I thought about how adults received ET - I was 17 so not really a kid or an adult; but I remember the divorce subplot and how it brought tension and humor to the movie because it seemed so real. Drew Barrymores character talking about daddy and his girlfriend for example. But as far as the main story, I think as an adult seeing how the kids are impacted by the governments arrival, and despite the adults best intentions, they fail in their attempts to help Elliott and ET - they aren't "wrong" they just didn't do the right thing. But yeah on the Blade Runner thing. And no on Trek II, I love that movie to no end, but it's just not that kind of a movie LOL. And I mean I LOVE THAT MOVIE.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      I believe in bryce...

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
